Bass are starting to hit topwater moving into the post spawn. Water Temperatures around 68 - 70 degrees. Sitting up shallow behind the tamarack bushes seem to be holding the most fish. Also, flipping is a good option water seems to have stained from the large amount of run off from the mountain.

We began fishing shallower water (10-12ft) and found nothing. We then moved to deeper water (30-40 ft) and found nothing. Eventually, we found a pocket of bass somewhere between the deeper and shallower water on a ledge. We didn't find many large fish, but we caught several largemouth dragging a dropshot up steep ledges. Move the bait extra slow and keep your line tight. Either a slow drag or slow turn of the handle. If you don't get bit in a few casts, move on. The fish we found were in a very specific 20 yard area with most being concentrated in a smaller area. A dropshot bait like the Netbait crush worm in the Jr size is a great option for a slow moving dropshot. You don't have to impart any action for it to look alive.

Crankbaits are working good off the ledges. Plus, the shaky head is a good choice too. Early morning, and late evening produces the best results at the moment.
